[QUOTE="GaTech4ever, post: 978908, member: 660"] Me too, on all counts. But one thing I wish posters here didn’t do when I continuously called it out was try to diminish Dontae’s play on the field and simultaneously talk up a clearly inferior running back who was playing in front of him. No one here should ever make up some BS about Dontae being an inferior player to justify a clearly touchy situation that was more than pure football ability. It was 100% off the field stuff, politics, etc. because Key said Dontae was fully healthy weeks before Dontae started playing. It’s college football, it is what it is. And we should be able to speculate when a situation is obviously murky. Also, I’m not going to immediately take the side of a brand new running backs coach who’s giving significant snaps to #0 vs. a 6th year senior alum. We don’t lose to BGSU with Dontae Smith playing. In fact, I want a pissed off running back. Thank goodness we finally got to see the results. Let us all just please remember this situation when some here claim that college football coaches play the best players 100% of the time. Do they make decisions based on what they think is best for their program? Sure. But those decisions are sometimes mutually exclusive. Sometimes, what’s going on is more than what meets the eye.
